Lyrics:

Melle Mel and Richard Hell
Were dancing at the Taco Bell
When someone heard a Rebel Yell
I think it was an infidel
Adam Ant and Robert Plant
The banter of a sycophant
Enlisted by Ulysses Grant
To record at the Record Plant
Islamabad is on the nod
Havana and the riot squad
And if you want to be a mod
You’ll have to meet me at the quad

You got the best of my loco
I’ll take the rest of your showboat
You got the best of my Yoko
I’ll take the rest of your low note

Parliament’s Atomic Dog
The hats were filling up with fog
Talk about the life and death
Of every penny analogue
The seventies were such a win
Singing the Led Zeppelin
Lizzy looking mighty Thin
The Thomson’s had another Twin
My daughter won the lottery
The numbers never thought of me
Ramones had a lobotomy
So spin me like your pottery

I will be your poster child
Ya know, the world is ours for a little while
And then, I will be your poster child
Tonight, La da da da ba ba ba dum

A funky feast of Sandinista
Neon mono Mona Lisa
Judas Priest the sweet barista
Mother load was named Teresa
Bubble gum I cum Bazooka
Dirty Dan, Dean and Deluca
Smoked banana in your hookah
Now I know the brand is RVCA
Bernie Mac and Caddy Shack
Were dusty as the brickerbrac
And if you ask me for the time
I’ll tell you that The Future’s Back
You got the best of my loco
I’ll take the rest of your showboat
You got the best of my Yoko
I’ll take the rest of your low note

Steve Miller and Duran Duran
A joker dancing in the sand
Van Morrison the astral man
A festival they have in Cannes
Speak of Chico and the Man
The silence of a certain lamb
MC5 kick out the jam
A poncho full of contraband
Dairy Queen was on the scene
The EveryKid teen magazine
The Motorhead and Mr. Clean
My piston needed Valvoline

You got me on this
Well and I can’t get off
With no one else but you

You turn me on to
Well and I can’t get up
For no one else but you

Cream Magazine a Love Supreme
The ballad of a Billie Jean
And now we know the Status Quo
But God will never Save the Queen
Dave Mushegain Copenhagen
Cowboy ghost of Ronald Reagan
Dollar save was Flavor-Flavin’
Cosmic rays of Carl Sagan
Hammer fist a double kiss
Unlisted number purple mist
Chubby Checker do the twist
And everyone’s a narcissist

You got the best of my loco
I’ll take the rest of your showboat
You got the best of my Yoko
I’ll take the rest of your low note

The waterbed was taking meds
Devo with their hats of red
A fatty for the Natty Dread
A pocket full of Talking Heads
Maya’s making paper planes
Addiction to the days of Janes
My Slurpee’s made of Purple Rain
Ten fingers in the lion’s mane

Giant squid karate kid
Sid Vicious and the katydid
The planet that we must forbid
The English Beat are in Madrid

[Erick.Munene.M]

This has a lot of Walkabout vibes.
Long live RHCP. Rock on.

[establishmensch]

This sounds like the peppers back in the 90s, with some „walkabout“ and „apache rose peacock“ vibes. Love it!!

[nickhartman]

I can hardly believe John is back, haven't heard him in the band since I was in high school. This is vintage RHCP, a breath of fresh air in today's music industry.

[bethwarburton]

This song is vintage Chili Peppers. AK’s lyrical ability just gets better with age, Flea’s ever present base is, as always, vital for any RHCP recording and John’s return has been the reason I have connected to most songs on Unlimited Love. His presence & skill is undeniable. And Chad….well Chad is just Chad & that’s what I love about him. I can’t think of another band that has travelled the road for so long & remained what their fans have always wanted. A band that creates NEW music to jam to, scream to, sing to & relate to after so long, can mean only one thing. They’re fucking legends.

[paulroguemusic]

Flea’s bass groove is awesome. Can’t remember the last time I heard him just groove like this, seems more improvised, which gives me the impression that this album will feature some a lot more jams like this. All in for it!! Peppers are awesome, can’t wait for this album.

[tupu_]

I love how they put out a funky, chill song for their 2nd single- not some song you only listen to for the hook. RHCP are back for real and it's like I'm a kid again.

[rescue]

My sister loved RHCP. She passed away in 2006 and I’m so grateful that they’re still making music and I can enjoy them as well ❤️ I still miss you

[teganowen]

One of my favourite songs ever. Listened to it a few days ago for the first time on vinyl records and fell in love with RHCP again. Love is to love something and these guys commit to making music for many ages to enjoy. Even if you over 50 you can groove same with teens. I live RHCP.

[TomShreds]

Total One Hot Minute vibes. Love it. This band never ages.

[jaime]

This sounds so vintage RHCP like out in L.A. and funky crime, the art style of the video reminds me so much of love roller coaster and Pink Floyd, this whole song sounds like a huge throwback to their beginnings, the whole video reminds me of the album cover of their first album, amazing beautiful work fro RHCP going back to their roots 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤟🏼

[stephenversluys]

my first son was born last week. When he's crying and cant get to sleep at night, I put this song on and give him a little rock. By then end, he's out.

I get to groove, he gets to sleep, and his mum thinks im dad of the year. Thanks RHCP!

[alternativejk]

After 39 years, rhcp continue to play on! Rock on fellas!

[spiritualconnection]

Flea's basslines here are among my favorites of their discography. The amount of groove and taste in them is immense.

[sombra]

The 2 new songs are sounding *really* good with headphones. If you have a decent pair, you should give them a try

[gedrooney]

Great to have them back, that lick from Frusciante is pure Mothers Milk. We should be thankful they are still together, quit the whinging! They always put a smile on my face after 30yrs of listening to them

[xNamsu]

Definitely one of those songs that grows on you. The first listen wasn't so impressive, gets better with each listen.

[argonjoker]

I love how they’re coming back to their roots in this one, it’s really amazing and nostalgic ❤️ long live rhcp

[icecube]

Rhcp still got funk, both in music and the video! These new singles prove that rock isn't dead in 2022!

[eidneicnricned]

I noticed that most of RHCP songs have a cool catchy guitar part at the beginning, and they don't do long beginnings like other songs, Anthony starts singing right away when the song starts and I think that it's a perfect song formula because it makes you groove right away.

[LukasHuettnerPercussion]

2 seconds into the song and I can already tell it’s gonna be a banger
